When it comes to surprising behavior, Perl isn't any worse than JavaScript. Which admittedly isn't a great comparison for either language. Most of the bellyaching around Perl has to do with regular expressions, but every other language out there picked up Perl's regex syntax in a mostly verbatim way (PCRE).
